Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

These images were lifted from this site:

http://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/lacingmethods.htm

It has much more than pictured in the original post. Why not just link to the original site?

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That site also, at a glance, looks like it's from 1997. Having the shoe images next to the lacing diagrams helps a lot.

supernova lacing

I could have been the coolest kid in elementary school.

[–]Facenoms 3 points4 points ago

Possibly because the OP saw it up on imgur and just linked it.

When I look at that picture I don't see any link other than imageshack, so I wouldn't know where to go.

Also, Lostinservice is right, I would not have clicked that link if it were not on imgur.

[–]Lostinservice 5 points6 points ago

because there's less karma in domains that aren't imgur :(

[–]AccountClosed 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

In defense of karma whoring, I mostly look at "top" stories that were already filtered by other redditors, and as such I would have never saw this post if it was linked to something other than imgur.

Looked at my shoes.... realised they conform to none of methods shown.

Now I'm faced with a dillema which feels far more significant than it should.

My only rule for sportshoes is that i can put them on without using my hands, like slippers, and that i never have to tie them.

[–]Hubris2 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm told there are ways of doing up laces in running shoes that actually maintain tightness and prevent having laces flop and come undone (other than a knot) but still - I'm not going to redo the laces in my shoes just to be different. They are laces, they keep the shoes done up!

When I was younger the cool thing among skaters was the "straight-lace" or the hidden knot...ahh those were the days.

I remember finding this in a /b/ info thread a few years back. I did the Lattice (N.) one on my shoes and love it. Get compliments on it all the time.

Isn't "H" the normal way? Right? Or am I crazy

[–]Shigglyboo 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm a fan of cool lacing. This is the latest one I've tried, didn't see it on that chart, it's basically the lattice with a twist, and it's easier to do and lets you tighten more easily as well: http://www.bootdog.com/spider.html

What's wrong with the normal way?

It's all right if you tell me it's for fashion, but you better fucking retract the claim that it changed your life.

This site has all the methods, with pros and cons and if you click each pattern, it even has statistics for shoelace length consumed! http://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/lacingmethods.htm

[–]rvweber 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't see the difference between several of them - ie, criss cross and over under. I admit I am probably slow, or maybe it is just more effort than I want to put into my shoelaces.

Some of these look like they really wouldn't tighten or loosen efficiently.

[–]sonanz -1 points0 points ago

I knew a guy who laced the normal way except from top to bottom, so he tied the knot at his toes. Took him forever to change shoes! Maybe this would be life changing for him?

[–]idacalledyouwoodyjoe -1 points0 points ago

C'mon man, they're shoes. Can't you just tie them?
